Can Chewing Food Make You a Millionaire?

Spain has said it wants to introduce a tax of up to 100% on property purchases for anyone from outside the European Union (EU) who is not a resident in the country.

That could mean a lot of potential buyers from places like Asia, the UK and the US being priced out of the market.

And that's exactly the idea.

Many Spaniards have said that they can't afford to buy property because of the number of homes being bought by foreign buyers.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez recently shared the plan, saying that in 2023, 27,000 apartments and houses around Spain were bought by people from outside the EU.

He said these buyers didn't purchase the homes to live in, but to make money from them.

Spain is a popular vacation destination for people around the world, and many like to buy holiday homes for themselves.

But other buyers put their properties on the short-term rental market, using sites like Airbnb.

This has meant that there are fewer homes for local people to buy. The shortage of properties in popular areas has seen prices increase, with many locals unable to afford higher prices.

Sánchez also said he wants to increase taxes on landlords who rent their properties with companies like Airbnb.

However, the prime minister's plans may not become law; for now they're just ideas.

British people who spoke to the BBC after hearing the news weren't happy with these plans.

Michele Hayes from Manchester, who has been looking at properties in Spain, said: "How many working Spanish people want to live in holiday homes in these tourist areas anyway?"

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

#232のPodcastで話した、海外旅行で良かったことについて話しました。今回は日本の良いところについて話します。

日本の良いところです。
・清潔感がある
・サービスが丁寧
・物や食べ物、サービスが安い

一つずつ話します。
・清潔感がある
　みなさんも日本に来た時に感じるかもしれないですが、日本はどこもきれいで清潔感がありますね。もちろん、そうじゃない所もありますが、みなさんが旅行などで行くだいたいの場所はとてもきれいだと思います。トイレもとてもきれいでビックリする人もいるかもしれないですね。無料ですしね。

・サービスが丁寧ていねい
　これはいい面でも、そうでない面でもありますが、接客せっきゃくがとても丁寧です。お客さまを大切にする、という考え方が根底にあるので、フラットな関係ではなく、お客さまを少し上にして接する関係があります。お客さんそれをわかっているので、少し上から接してしまうこともあります。

・物やサービスが安い
消費者、買う人にとってはいいことですね。日本の食べ物やサービスのクオリティがあった上で、値段を見ると、とても安いと思います。寿司とか100均とか。海外の方からすると驚くかもしれないです。僕からすると、この値段設定が日本の給料が上がらない問題にもつながっているといる思うので、そろそろ値段が上がっていくといいなぁ、と思います。

ということで、日本のいい所、簡単に3つ話しました。
旅行で日本に来られる方も本当に増えていますね。
ぜひみなさんが感じた日本の良いところや、海外の良いところ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
